Fall Family Photos

Last week we had family photos taken by the amazing Alyssa Flood (Alyssa Flood Photography).  Alyssa did an spectacular job with our Holiday photos last year seen here, and here.  I just love how she views, and captures my family through her lens.  We always have a blast when we get together, and my kids just adore her!

Being in my third trimester of what’s most likely my last pregnancy, I wanted to have family portraits of us four as well as some keepsake maternity photos which I will be sharing in a separate post!  I am truly trying to cherish & remember these last two months with my baby bump, so bittersweet.

 

We chose to do the family pictures at sunrise in a local field near by, and went with the second scheduled back up date as it was cloudy on the first.  Boy was it worth it, we had the most beautiful morning, and the kids were so excited to watch the sunrise!  I have sprinkled some of my favorite images from the session throughout this post, and will be sharing lots more on my instagram!  I legit teared up with the first sneak peek Alyssa sent me #pregnancyhormones.

Syracuse photographer

All of the gorgeous photos Alyssa took will be cherished and passed on well beyond my lifetime, an investment well worth it.

Alyssa is local to the Syracuse, NY area but enjoys to travel for shoots as well, she is booking and filling up for 2020 already!   She loves to capture ALL things love,  while keeping it real & authentic.  Be sure to mention me or The Upstate Mama for 10% off your session!  You can view her incredible work on her blog as well as instagram.

 

I linked all of our outfits below, everything we wore with exception of Drew’s outfit came from Amazon!  Can’t beat two day shipping and easy returns if something doesn’t work out.  I usually try to stick with a neutral color palette, and layers to keep everyone warm this time of year!
